My pants are looser my shirts are baggier. My bra is on row 1 rather than 3. I think i have lost maybe 5" from top area but my waist and hips haven't lost anything according to my measuring tape. I don't know why. Can you lose in some area's and not others? I am down 34 lbs so i would think i would have lost at least an inch or two but i guess not? Anyone have this problem before?

    If your clothes are looser, it sounds like your measuring differently both times? One doesn't equal the other..

    We are genetically predisposed to lose weight in a certain way. That's why you should measure yourself in as many locations as possible so you can see your results over time.

    Weight seems to come off where it wants to. I've lost far more inches in my waist and hips than I have in my bust and muffin top...pretty soon I'll be an inverted triangle! lol

    I do think eventually it all evens out...so don't worry so much. Plus it's sooooooo difficult to measure at the exact same spot each time.

    If your pants are looser than you would have had to lose some inches. Might be you're not measuring in the same place or with a different measuring tape? Clothes falling down don't lie...you're doing great!
